1. Caitlin has really taken to school. Here she puts on
mommy's glasses and acts like a teacher. 2. She absolutely loves to use the dry-erase board in my office to draw pictures and write sentences. This particular story is a tell-all scary storey which we took up with the teacher. Don't worry, the offender was punished. The sentence reads, "I got punched in the stomach. Colton did it." |

Reagan Cross gets a little messy at the spaghetti festival held in our kitchen. |

Angela is playing volleyball for our Sunday School class team. One of the first times I hung out with Angela was when she was playing volleyball for our church class when we were in the Singles Department. She was so excited to get to play that she ran out there without putting on her knee pads and immediately dove for an incoming ball. That left burn marks on her knees for months to come. It was an early warning to me of her 100% dive-in-to-things nature! |

We lit luminarias in front of our house for the night when everyone lit candles in remembrance of September 11. Take a moment to pray for our country. |
 |
At Zack Stayton's birthday party they had a jump house. Caitlin looks absolutely terrified! |
 |
My cousin, Jean, and her husband, Stan, visited from Canyon Lake, TX. |

Ok, I can't figure this one out. Is there something I'm missing? I snapped this driving up Cooper St. one day. 1) um...lady silhouette stickers, 2) the Christian icthus (fish symbol, IXOYE in Greek), and 3) a bumper sticker that reads "Greg Pyle, Choctaw Chief." What does it all mean? Is there some sort of connection with them all? Do Christian Choctaw Chiefs have a relation to lady silhouette stickers that fits? Paul Gage, associate minister of music at Fielder Road Baptist Church suggests that the car had two previous owners, and each of them including the current owner added their own personal statement, none removing the prior statement(s). I'm sure there is some sort of spiritual significance here that is crying out to be known. Can someone trace the owner's phone number from the license plate for me so I can get to the bottom of this? |

We took part in a bon-fire, hay-ride party that our Sunday
School class had. The second picture was almost completely black, but with a little computer magic and color tone adjustment, out popped a really cool looking image. You can even see the brighter stars shining. |

I began attempting to teach Devin and Caitlin how to ride
their bikes sans training wheels. 1. Caitlin says "goal!" 2. Devin rides solo for about 8 feet before winding up in a crumpled pile of metal, rubber and three-year-old. Out of the wreckage he springs forth smilingly proclaiming, "Crash and burn!" |
 |
Our good friends Jef and April Larremore were wed this month. April's son (playing the part of the ring-bearer, or as Devin calls it, "the flower-boy") gets a little too much piano volume and covers his ears. |
|
1. Caitlin tries on a witch wig for size and strikes a
pose. 2. Angela dressed up as what she called "The Masked Mommy" for Halloween. |
|
1. Angela extends her costume with a witch hat and serves
lattes to Starbucks trick-or-treaters. 2. Her store had a pumpkin carving contest. This is Angela's entry. It's a miniature pumpkin about 3 1/2 inches across. She carved it with an Exacto, painted and shellac'ed it. |
 |
The Speeds making their selections at an area pumpkin patch. Devin is wearing a shirt that has a picture of a spider on it. But from his placement of the pumpkin, it appears that the pumpkin is crawling up his shirt. |
 |
Devin: Scooby Doo, Angela: The Masked Mom, Bailey Cross: Princess, Caitlin: Blossom (Power Puff Girl), Reagan Cross: Batman |
|
Fielder's Fabulous Fall Family Fun Festival. 1. Caitlin and Devin whisk down the slide. 2. Devin bowls. 3. Big Wheel Racing with Devin in the lead. |
 |
Blossom whispers to the prince, "Don't look now, but I think there's a dog following you." |
